About

Spring-fed flows of 131 CFS average carry the San Rafael River through 17 miles of Bureau of Land Management corridor, with optimal paddling conditions between 70–200 CFS on gauge 09328000. The primary run extends from Fullers Bottom to Swinging Bridge through desert canyon country. At these flows, the San Rafael provides a consistent water source through otherwise arid terrain, though paddlers should coordinate with BLM offices before launching in this managed section.
